Connery has tumour removed

Scottish superstar Sean Connery is convalescing after undergoing surgery to remove a tumour from his kidney.

The 75-year-old James Bond actor underwent the operation in January in a New York City hospital, and is now back home in the Bahamas with his wife Micheline.

He says: "I was opened in five places, including a tube up my d**k."

Brother Neil says: "As far as I'm led to believe the tumour was benign. He seems to be quite upbeat about it."
